Boss Group International

What Boss Group International does

Boss Group International, LLC is a privately held business brokerage and M&A advisory firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida, founded in 2009 and operating with 1-10 employees. The firm specializes in representing owners of lower-middle to mid-market businesses (typically $1M-$50M in revenue) across Auto Repair, Home Services, Lawncare & Landscaping, Restaurants, and a broad set of Other Industries. Its core products are business selling services (valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, closing) and business buying services (deal sourcing, financing guidance, and acquisition support), with adjacent advisory offerings covering exit planning, 1031 exchange wealth preservation, tax strategy, and family transition planning. The firm is a Florida Licensed Real Estate Company and holds affiliations with the IBBA, BBOF, and MandASource.

The firm makes money almost entirely through transaction-based commissions on closed deals, supplemented indirectly by referral-driven deal flow. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-led: free exit consultations, a website listings portal, a structured Referral Partner Program for CPAs, attorneys, and wealth advisors, and the Boss Talk video podcast for top-of-funnel content. Technology is conventional — a brokerage website with lead-capture forms, a business listings database, and contact management — with no proprietary platform, no API, and no disclosed AI or data-product layer. Leadership is concentrated in Founder & President Jim Parker (CBI, M&AMI, 20+ years, named IBBA Chairman effective January 1, 2026) and Managing Partner Carey Sobel (CM&AP, CEPA), with the principal team having collectively overseen hundreds of transactions.
